Jeez...I really need to remember to get on here more often.

I used the 6.5-06AI to help take down a nice little rag horn bull elk last fall...definitely don't use 123gr bullets, have some 143/147 I'm gonna work up yet this fall

Also, wife used it to finish off her antelope @ about 350 yds....put it 2" low of her first neck shot with her 6 creed, bullet hit a Vertebrae, turned north and came out the left eye, goat was down so she packed up her bipod, unloaded and we headed down hill...somehow the damn thing got back up, so I handed her my rifle...it didn't get back up

Still planning to start a 338-06AI build this winter, and just got a nice 22-243 Middlestead to play with and round out my coyote gun group...lol
